How to Make Paper Plate Mummies – 3 Easy Steps

STEP 1: Start by coloring a paper plate first. Note: Plain non-coated paper plates work best with crayons.

STEP 2: Use just a dab of school glue (or craft glue) to glue the googly eyes to the plate. Let that set up for a minute or two.

STEP 3: Cut 5-8 strips of crepe paper and use a glue stick to glue them onto the plate.

That’s it! You can punch a hole in the top and hang it with a string if you like.
